Earlier this week, I raved about Britta Coleman - the teacher. Now, I want to rave about Britta Coleman - the author.
Britta’s award-winning debut novel, entitled Potter Springs, presents a love story filled with broken characters searching for a second chance, searching for grace. Set mainly in small-town Texas, the novel’s main characters convey their desires to be known, rescued, and loved with such authenticity that they reach out to the reader in a subtle, endearing, “we could be friends” kind of way.
Great characters aren’t accidents; they come to life through great writing. And here, the writing is superb. The words pour eloquently off the pages straight into the reader's heart.
In writing this novel, Britta did not leave her deeply grounded faith at the door; instead, it is obvious on every page. The message of grace resounds, and thankfully, it resounds to a larger audience because Britta sought to publish Potter Springs with its redeeming message in the mainstream marketplace. Thus, this enjoyable page-turner will have you believing that “being lost is a good way to start getting found.”
(And for all the Aggies: Britta included a few fun Aggie references in the novel.)

Sounds like a great book.
And thanks for stopping by my blog to have a look at the orchids. Hope to have pics of butterflies common to Costa Rica up by the end of the week. Again, thanks for visiting.
Blessings
I agree Britta is both a fine writer and a great person. Can't wait for her next novel.
A good book recommendation is a gift! I will put it on my list. :)
